A local musician, Ranson Madzamba has become the latest musician to use songs in promoting Vision 2030 and urging the nation to emulate the good works of the New Dispensation.

Madzamba, who recently released a song titled Vision 2030 Tinosvika/Siyafika, told this publication that local artists and other Zimbabweans should use every available platform to promote Government programmes.

“Progress being made in the country’s development agenda under the Second Republic must be publicised to the people. I am optimistic that Government will achieve its target to develop Zimbabwe into an Upper Middle Income Economy by 2030. However, as artistes, we must use songs to highlight and prop Government’s development programmes,” said Madzamba.

Madzamba added that the New Dispensation had done a lot since its coming to power in 2017. However, some of its achievements were being diluted by hostile media who continue writing fake stories about Zimbabwe.

“Hostile media continue to write fake news about the Government and it’s our duty as artistes to correct the narrative through songs. We should produce songs that highlight the good works the Government is doing in uplifting the generality of Zimbabweans from poverty,” added Madzamba.

Madzamba further said that every Zimbabwean should shun corruption and embrace peace and unity in order for Vision 2030 to be achieved. He added that he was not ashamed to be associated with the Government as it was his duty as a patriotic Zimbabwean to defend it and correct misinformation being spread by its detractors.

Madzamba’s song is currently receiving favourable airplay on all local radio stations and the video of the song is regularly being played on ZBC TV.

Meanwhile, Madzamba joins other musicians such as Admire Sibanda, popularly known as Chief Shumba or Hwenje and Bruce Machingura, among other musicians in promoting Government’s programmes through songs.
